_INVEST1GATIONS IN MORAY FRITH, 1894.
_
A table was this year given by the Fishery Board showing __
the quantities of white shes caught within the closed waters
%
of the Moray Frith, and the number of boats, with a view 0f
noting the changes inaugurated by the closure. Seven districts
were
chosen as shing specially within the closed area, but
even though such were the case, the difculties of an accurate
ï
record are great, and it may be expected to show only the usual
'
variations from year
to year
Characteristic of all shing opera—
_
tions.
There is small chance of any satisfaction being derived
_
from an accumulation of shes due to the closure.
